Chelsea look to have guaranteed themselves a place in the knockout phase of the Champions League when they beat CSKA Moscow 2-0 for their third successive Group H victory in wet conditions at Stamford Bridge tonight.
Chelsea took advantage of some woeful Russian defending at set pieces to win with headers from John Terry after nine minutes and Eidur Gudjohnsen in first half stoppage time.
Chelsea failed to dominate possession with the Russian champions looking comfortable coming forward, although they rarely created any threatening chances.
The night was a special one for Chelsea's billionaire Russian owner Roman Abramovich who has many friends at CSKA. He is also the major shareholder in the oil company Sibneft, CSKA's shirt sponsors -- but the sentiment ended there as he delighted in Chelsea's win.
